Pakistan currency note
PKR is listed among current account currencies for Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero in the general specification, but actual availability belongs to the account-creation interface. Standard Cent uses cent-denominated currencies such as USC rather than PKR. Do not assume that choosing PKR removes every provider conversion.
Migration risk controls
Do not transfer margin that supports open positions. Internal conversion rate and available balance should be reviewed before confirmation. Keep enough free margin on the source until positions are closed, and do not delete/terminate the Personal Area merely to obtain another currency.

Questions from a first-time learner
Can I edit the currency of an existing Exness account?
No. Trading-account currency is fixed after creation.
Must I register a new Exness Personal Area?
No. Create another trading account inside the existing PA.
Is PKR always available?
It appears in the general list for several account types, but confirm live availability during account creation.
What happens to open positions?
They remain on the old account and cannot simply move to the new currency account; manage them before moving supporting funds.
